I am really flummoxed why management stalls on the VGCX prVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2021 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSXV:BYN) is pleased to report that the AurMac drill program has expanded to three (3) drills working onsite with associated increases in drilling production. The Phase II 2021 AurMac exploration program continues to follow up on successful 2021 Phase I drilling at the Project which, since February of this year, has culminated in approximately 25,000 metres ("m") and over 120 diamond drill holes completed to date. With planned drilling of over 30,000 m, there will be assay results for well over 90 drill holes in the coming months. The remainder of this calendar year will see a two-fold exploration focus at AurMac:
- Two diamond drill rigs targeted on continued growth of the Powerline Deposit through expansion of the on-going 100 m step-out grid-based drilling resulting in the definition of a much larger overall mineralized footprint of the Powerline deposit; which remains open in all directions, and
- One diamond drill concentrated on tighter spaced drilling towards refinement of the gold continuity modeling of the Powerline Deposit - towards an updated AurMac Gold Resource statement in 2022.
Diamond drilling at AurMac since the Q1 2020 maiden resource announcement stands at approximately 35,000 m - which has been targeted on potential resource expansion of the Airstrip Deposit (2020 drilling); and throughout 2021, the focus has been the rapid expansion of the mineralization footprint at the Powerline Deposit. It is anticipated that this season's exploration campaign will continue into December and will recommence in early 2022.
